JOOST SWARTE — HAARLEM CULTURAL DUO SET (1995 & 2000) — Flawless Mint Condition
Joost Swarte Publisher;Stichting Beeldverhaal Nederland. '2000
"Stripdagen Haarlem 2000" Offset printing 60x60cm. Condition: MINT/Archive State.
"Haarlemse Open Monumenten dagen" '95 Haarlem 750' Flat printing (offset) 40x60cm Condition MINT/Archive State.
An extraordinary combination lot for connoisseurs of Franco-Belgian comic art (Ligne Claire) and modern graphic design: two (2) authentic, highly collectible original vintage posters designed by the international master of the Clear Line style, Joost Swarte (b. 1947).
Both works celebrate Swarte’s deeply rooted connection to his home city of Haarlem, highlighting two major cultural events:
Stripdagen Haarlem 2000 (3+4 Juni 2000) — Dimensions: 60 x 60 cm
The iconic, perfectly square official poster for the 2000 edition of the famed international comic art festival. Depicts an art-gallery framing scene rendered in crisp blue lines surrounded by a bold, two-tone yellow and orange typographic border. Signed in the plate.
Haarlemse Open Monumentendagen (9+10 September 1995) — Dimensions: 40 x 60 cm
A brilliant architectural artwork featuring surrealist, headless figures holding red balloons walking past whimsical, block-built Dutch monuments. Packed with vibrant primary colors and playful geometric precision.
